Join us at the City Lot behind the Library! Paper Plains invites the community to create paper from regionally-harvested, invasive plants. It is an interactive experience in papermaking and native prairie planting. Workshop leaders demonstrate techniques to participants and engage in a dialogue about the history of invasive plants in Minnesota. Tools in this mobile art studio are adaptable for people of all ages and abilities. The paper that participants make is unique, embedded with native prairie seeds, and carries a little piece of the Great Plains. Whether it hangs on the fridge or gets planted in the garden, handmade paper will grow the arts in your community.

In case of rain, this program will move to the Community Building (336 S. 1st St, La Crescent).

This program is funded by SELCO through a grant from the Legacy Amendment Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and by MN residents.
